Back in February, we headed to Arizona for the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

During our week in the Grand Canyon State, we tried several new bloodies, including this one, from Red, White & Brew in Mesa, Arizona.

We were staying with friends and we stopped for lunch after they picked us up from the airport. Famished and tired after our long flight, we couldn’t wait to start our vacation with a cocktail.

Unfortunately, Red, White and Brew did not feature any sort of special bloody on its drink menu, but I ordered one anyway.

Thus, I was not surprised that the bloody I received was quite plain. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t great. There was just nothing special about it. There were no fixin’s aside from lemon and lime and a chaser was not offered. Because the drink was not listed on the menu and I didn’t think to check the tab, I also don’t know how much they charge you for one of these. Hopefully it wasn’t a lot.

This is a cool place and the food was really good–I just wouldn’t recommend it as the best place to head if you’re craving a really special bloody mary.

I had dinner one night at the Irish Wolfhound in Surprise.

This one was not on my pre-researched list of Bloodies, but hey, I was thirsty. So, in the good name of blogging, I ordered a Bloody Mary.
